| I love watching Elladan and Elrohir being sensible and protective - it so goes against their usual portrayal! Beautiful description of Imladris - it builds a lovely picture in my mind of the open, airiness of it. And of the way it is part of its environment. And I love the reflections on the qualities of the different races of elves. Poor Erestor! Left sorrowing for the lack of the local trouble-makers. He will have nothing to complain about and he and Elrond will be able to live in peace and harmony over the winter. Maybe silence and companionable study is what Elrond needs right now. I don't know - he seems very alone to me, but then that is not an unfamiliar experience to him. Erestor will be a good support for him, but he seems to lack the warmth that Elrond is missing. I'm left with a lovely clear picture of the pair of them warming their toes in the serenity of Imladris. Author Reply: Thanks, Bodkin! It's always lovely to know what readers do like, and what needs improving. Elrond had a really rotten lot in life in many ways, but he was such a pivotal person and I always like to think there were companions placed around him who could support him through all the awful times as well as celebrate the happy ones. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing -- I appreciate it! | |

| I admit I just laughed at Glorfindel suddenly having to face a few friends if he showed up again. What Glorfindel, a dragon? Another balrog or three? Sauron himself? And Glorfindel having to answer, 'an orc, I rode alone'. Yep, embarrassment works. Go twins! I like your Erestor. I like his doubts but his trust in Elrond. And that he cares enough to make sure Elrond is well. Author Reply: Namo would not be amused, I think. *g* But Ecthelion, Tuor and Eglamoth might laugh themselves sick. ;) "How many elves have died twice, Glorfindel..." Kind of mean, but guy humour? I'm glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for reviewing! | |

| Now, this is a good one! The twins imparting lessons in caution! It was great fun, really. No wonder Glorfindel wavered between amusement and outrage... but in the end, he taught them well it seems... Author Reply: Heh...it is ironic, isn't it? Elrond might want to hear that for himself to believe it! Thank you for reading and reviewing, I appreciate it! | |

| Another fine chapter. I wish the chapters were longer, but at least they seem somewhat frequent in the updates. Keep up the good work. Author Reply: Good point about the length of chapters -- I'll try to post longer ones from now on. Sorry for the delay on this, I was gone last week. Thank you so much for your review and for reading. I appreciate it! | |

| I liked Erestor's doubts about the architecture of Imladris. I'd have been horrified it I'd been him. But as he says, you shouldn't underestimate Elrond. I also like the idea of the twins lecturing Glorfindel on caution. Author Reply: When I first saw the movie Imladris I remember thinking...but the bugs and cold air and snow! Beautiful, yes, but practical, no. I suppose if you're Elves and have Vilya you can do more than we can (I sure hope so!), but still I was surprised to see Frodo in an open-air room. Underestimate Elrond? Nevah! *g* And yes, it is ironic to have the twins lecturing Glorfindel, or anyone, on caution. Elrond might find it amusing or just plain shocking. Thank you for reading and reviewing, Daw! | |
